So, who's going to Nat'ls?
What Division are you shooting?

MattM · Oct 9, 2010

I had a slot to shoot Open but the little man is keeping me home.... Maybe next year.

I think I might try to go in 2011.

don't you think a lot of folks are already fed up with Vegas? IMO a amrginal range with low facilities, low berms, and zero cover...... just sayin'

Right now with the weather going on here Vegas sounds pretty good !!

I'm thinking alot of folks will be looking hard at going back to Vegas or going to Florida for IDPA "World Championship"

USPSA has their following as well as IDPA. I worked the USPSA nationals last year all week and yes it was hard being out there from sun up to sun down, but as a shooter you only shot either am or pm so that left plenty of time to see the sights. I agree that the range is not a USSA with the grass bays but no one was complaining, and you do hear rocks or what ever zinging above.
Plus the Nationals has a prize table that you can recoup some if not all of your entry fee, both places have their good and bad points.

I AM #2 ON THE WAITLIST FOR 2011 LIMITED/PRODUCTION!!!

Sorry im excited and i haven't been offered my slot yet

I already pretty much know i am getting one but still i want confirmation that i am going before i make any plans.

Anyone else on the waiting list this year. I know a couple people are and thier slot Numbers but i figure they should post it themselves.

LET'S REPRESENT OKLAHOMA AT THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH!!!

okie-carbine · May 25, 2011

i would love to go. who wants to sponsor me? lol

backer · May 25, 2011

I've thought about the idea, It would be a cool experience if nothing else.

But a lot of things can change at work between now and then, and I don't want to get my hopes up.

Oh, and I hate Vegas.

backer · May 25, 2011

Fyi, I would shoot Production.

Obiareus · May 25, 2011

I shoot limited sorry... Production is just not my forte atm. I love shooting the edge. I am pretty good at shooting the Edge. Im gonna shoot it till i make at least MASTER(goal for now) then i will shoot something else. However i am curious as to why you say that.

Haha, oops

I was talking about what division i would personally register for.

Sorry about the confusion. I was trying to say that I shoot production.

Feegee · Sep 11, 2011

I am still new so I was wondering how good do you have to be, and how long do you have go shoot to go to something like this?

HAI ROBERT!

Robert is correct as long as you are a member of USPSA you can shoot at Nationals. However, you have to earn or be given a slot by USPSA. There are different ways to do this and they are on this .pdf.

http://www.uspsa-nationals.org/Slot_policy_adopted_11-2010.pdf

However they have said that they haven't ever turned down someone who showed up at nationals, that wasn't on the waitlist, due to cancellations. So if you were wanting to shoot this year and you are going to be in or near Las Vegas, show up and ask, it can't hurt to ask.
